The rounds

Round 130%

Knowledge Arena

Multiple-choice across algorithms, data structures, databases, security and Git. Graded on the server the moment you answer, in an order nobody else sees.

20 questions · 10 minutes

Round 240%

Code Sprint

Timed problems in any of eight languages, executed in a sandboxed judge against test cases you never see. Partial credit for partial progress.

3 problems · 45 minutes

Round 330%

Bug Hunt

A bug report, the failing output, and broken code that compiles. Find the fault and fix it — hidden tests decide whether you actually did.

2 bugs · 30 minutes

Round weights combine into one final score. Ties break on challenges completed, then total time, then who got there first.

Built so the result
actually means something

A competition is only worth entering if it cannot be gamed. These are not features — they are the reason the leaderboard can be trusted.

I

Scored on the server

Nothing the browser sends is trusted as a score. Every point is computed server-side, and every result can be reconstructed from what was recorded.

II

Tests you never see

Solutions are graded against hidden test cases. Reading the samples is not enough — the answer cannot be hard-coded.

III

Isolated execution

Submitted code runs sandboxed, with CPU, memory and process limits, and no network access at all.
